Tips

• Talk to Professor Oak in Pallet Town once you have all 16 badges; he opens the way through the Victory Road gate to Route 28 and Mt. Silver.
• Use the Pokémon Center outside the cave entrance to heal and set your return point before you climb.
• Larvitar (Lv 15–20) can appear at a 5% rate in every part of the cave, and Misdreavus (Lv 45) appears only at night on 2F and in the side rooms.
• Sneasel (Lv 38–42) appears at night in the grass outside, and Ursaring (Gold) or Donphan (Silver) are common throughout.
• The first room is dark, so bring Flash; Surf and Waterfall are needed to explore the rest of the cave, including the side rooms with a Max Revive and a Full Restore.
• Red's team peaks with a Lv 81 Pikachu, backed by Espeon, Snorlax, Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise at Lv 73–77, so stock up on Full Restores and Revives.
